Wakeboard Tips: Jumping

[Circaman8]

lol gf i just figured out that the rope is supposed to be like 50ft long the one i was using was about half that >.< should make doing 180s alot easier lol.

[TheAlphaFaction]

IS THIS POSSIBLE TO DO IF I DONT HAVE A WAKEBOARD TOWER!?

[BellybuttonCvok18]

@TheAlphaFaction haha I've tried with my 19 year old Bayliner, and yeah, it's possible, but ur not gonna get the height..

[foamrider321]

looks a lot easier than it really is

[lovinher94]

Ummm...it's not really about the speed but how much u carve and how tall ur wake is.also,the faster u go,they skinnier and shorter ur wake gets due to the boat lifting out of the water slightly

[drmmrlittle]

terrible instructional video... "play tug of war with the boat" ummm ok haha

[icantellfakefromreal]

@drmmrlittle what he means by that is make sure theres tension as you pop off the wake

[extremeadrenalineme]

YES YOU HAVE A WAKEBOARD TOWER!!! HOW DO YOU DO IT WITH NO TOWER?

[antifreindly]

@extremeadrenalineme bolt a kleat to the back of ur boat. thats what i do.

[RockerLed]

In all board sports you have to push off to get that pop. Which is why you have the ollie in skateboarding :P

[CaptainShmiggenns]

i didn't know john lenon wakeboarded

[Kogh1115]

how fast do you need to be going in order to get air like that

[BellybuttonCvok18]

@Kogh1115 around 25-30 mph depending on the boat

[skierboy97]

Goofy Baby!!

[zbadass650]

that guy looks smart.....

[salutonpot5555555]

i dont have a wakeboard boat, so the wake is pretty small and reaches a little higher than my knees. if i jump properly, how high could i get?

[jniepokoj123]

@salutonpot5555555 u can get wake to wake, u just have to pull harder across the wake

[sniper6636]

@salutonpot5555555 the wake on my boat gets around mid calf so im sure you can get wake to wake if i can

[salutonpot5555555]

@sniper6636 yah i figured it out. i shortened the rope to a 65 feet rope, i was using 75 feet and it got much easier. i also tried my friends wake which is larger than my old piece of crap that i call a wakeboard and it got a lot easier once again. and pulling harder across the wake helped :P so thanks xD

[winofred7]

When you land, doesnt it help to like crush your knees?

[kxsteven4]

@winofred7 not really,,, but you would think that.. you dont even notic it when you land

[beavsk8tr07]

he seemed like he really didn't want to be there

[NikeLaxer337]

withh the squirly thing, bend your knees, and absorb it more..

[vient18]

What speed and rope lenght do you guys use while wakeboarding?

[CFLKS411]

I havent wakeboarded in about 6 years and I'm just getting back into it this. Why does it seem, whenever I land a jump my board gets all squirly? I have middle fins which I thought (remembering from a kid) kept the board more stable.

[misslaurenrene]

iam a girl and ihave a hyperlite Jade 129 board..ijust got it last winter, so this past summer was the first time ihave used it.iam tryin to jump to jump the whole wake from the right side on my heal side.iget some air but iam not getting alot and enough to jump the entire wake.ican only get halph way.wat am i doin wrong??

[growtooverthrow]

You probably need to cut harder, and also extend as you climb the lip of the wake. I find that on a boat with a smallish wake, and a low pole, I have to rely more on speed and a decent extension to get across - not sure what your situation is though, just thought it may help.

[misslaurenrene]

ohkay.thanks iwill try that..and the boat has a smallish wake and a tower..and icut as hard as ican.its just wen ido the toes on my boots get caught in the water and then ifall..why is it doin that? and thanks for the tip(:

[johnnymac97531]

im a little confused with the question... why are your toes getting caught while youre cutting in on your heels... but a pretty simple fix to keep your boots from catching is to duck your stance out a little bit

[stuntjump]

the most important thing is the progressive ege, it says nothing about that, watch relentless its way better advice for beginners, not dissin, just tryin to help

[masterdark354]

this is the best vid about wakeboarding

[ILIKEPIE111lol1]

[nosepivot]

[crdemoss92]

[NCountryProductions]

Great vid - great info thanks bud

[bug9402]

wow.... amazingg water!

[captainmuria]

is that lake yuba? i cant tell but it looks just like it, whenever i jump i do everything right untill i hit the crest of the wake then i barely bend my legs, this video helped!

[phil656565]

damn wish my local lake had smooth water like that

[Rob4x4Rob]

You have to be there when the sun is just coming up.

[phil656565]

its a big assed lake... it never gets this smooth... ive been on the water at 6 am and its been rough as hell... just depends on how many boats are on the water and how bad the wind is blowin... never gets close to glass like this... it was pretty damn smooth last time i went out.

[MrClayton0420]

sweet lesson

[TeunisD]

What a total douchebag is that guy thats talking... boring...

(good explanation though)

[zZLiptonZz]

i no this sounds sad but i need help getting round corners on cable. ive tried loads of times but havnt suceeded any tips on how to do it? thankss

[andrewmalczyk]

lol go out quite wide, normally they have boiuys to go through, and bend your knees lots that should keep you balanced

and you can also bend your arms then push them out when you go round the corner because that can reduce your speed

[zZLiptonZz]

thanks allot. i managed to get round the first 2 corners):

[spikelangbine]

thats smooth as water, i cleared it coz it was smooth on the last time for summer :( now ill probly lose it haha, good vid but
